WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
The steps to get a sexual abuse protective order are similar to the steps to get a protective order based on domestic abuse, but you may fill out different forms. If you have questions, you can call the clerk of court or talk to a lawyer. You can find contact information for local courthouses on the IA Courthouse Locations page and for lawyers on the IA Finding a Lawyer page.
